We were on the beach by 5:00AM. All was quiet although the beach was littered with all kinds of lumber. We moved alot of this lumber back behind the high tide line, but seemed to barely make a dent in the debris. But,then we were rewarded by a beautiful sunrise as we approached the jetty.
Then, as we were leaving the beach, the call came in that Jamie and Matt from the Coastal Carolina University Turtle Patrol had discovered a nest in the Atlantic Beach area and were moving it to Waties. A hole was quickly dug and the eggs were carefully transferred to their new home, all 148!!
This newly relocated nest is just north of the entrance to the beach, not to far from Friday's relocated nest from Cherry Grove. It is labeled 2R NMB.
Great job Jamie and Matt.
But... where are the Waties Island Turtles?
